Chemical Structure

4-Methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl propionate CAS 3361-13-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4-Methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl propionate.

4-Methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl propionate (CAS 3361-13-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H12O4 and a molecular weight of 232.23 g/mol.

4-Methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl propionate (C13H12O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures 4-Methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl propionate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
